Regular Travel Reviews
The Boeing 717 is a somewhat unique plane. It's the last of the DC-9 lineage dating back to 1965. Through a series of mergers, the Douglas DC-9 evolved into the McDonnell Douglas MD80 and MD90, then finally the end of line was the Boeing 717. The last commercial aircraft that was ever produced in Long... Continue Reading →
The worst seat in the entire airline fleet is certainly a high claim, but I firmly believe that I can justify that the 717 Row 29 seat D is the worst seat in the mainline Delta Air Lines fleet. On our final leg home from Alaska, I sat in the worst seat on Delta, maybe... Continue Reading →
It's time for another vacation, this time we're headed to Alaska to do some hiking, relaxing, and camping. Like with other trips, I'll be reviewing the transportation and hotels, you know the kinda boring stuff. Val will follow up with the more fun portions of the trip like the adventures and what to do in... Continue Reading →
To close out my trip to Montreal, I'm flying home with Delta Air Lines. Today it will be on the Boeing 717 in First Class. I'm connecting in ATL but my second leg of the trip is another Delta 737-800 trip and I've reviewed that plane lots of time so I'll just stick to the... Continue Reading →
Flight Review: Tallahassee to Greenville via Atlanta. This is a route I've flown before, though I can't quite remember if ever on a Delta CRJ900 in first class. I've been on the CRJ900 in first class plenty of times, just not from TLH. Not that it's a particularly different experience. In Tallahassee we had a... Continue Reading →
Leaving Hawaii is always a sad day. We had an amazing last day and all good things must come to an end. Today we're flying on and reviewing Hawaiian Airlines 717 in First Class. Getting to Greenville SC from KOA isn't easy, on Delta it's an assured 3 flights. Due to how this trip was... Continue Reading →
This morning we're flying to Molokai! This will be a new destination for both of us and we are excited to see a new place. From a travel point, I'm excited to try out and review Mokulele Airlines. Mokulele is a new airline and airplane, Cessna 208, for us and I can't wait. Getting from... Continue Reading →
Welcome to my vacation! The first leg of the trip and review is a Delta 717 in economy. Yep, pretty boring and almost the exact same as many of my other work trips I've reviewed. Then I'll be connecting to and reviewing a Delta 757 in economy from Atlanta to Seattle. Connecting in Seattle is... Continue Reading →
A few days at home after our lovely family vacation, I'm back on the road for work. I really don't mind this. I've been traveling for work for nearly a decade now, and it's almost relaxing for me to be on the road. Don't get me wrong, I love being at home, but it's nice... Continue Reading →
I don't like Orlando. I think I've made that very plain over the last few weeks. This is my 4th trip, in as many weeks. This also wasn't a pre-scheduled trip, it was very last minute and that's not very fun. This trip home doesn't even have anything fun like a wide body. It's a... Continue Reading →
This will be week 2(of 4) that I'll be spending in Orlando. As I've said in the past, I don't like Orlando. At the time, I thought this would be my last week, I was wrong. Future James knows. Anyway, this part of the journey will look almost exactly the same as last week. Same... Continue Reading →
Well it's Friday and time to head home. Unfortunately for me, I'll be heading back next week. I like to travel, I also like to travel to work, I just don't enjoy these last minute trips on back to back(to back to back) weeks. Let's also say I just don't like Orlando. Have I mentioned...

Just after arriving home from my Virginia trip I received a request to help on a project down in Orlando. I really dislike Orlando under the best of circumstances. Add in COVID and the poor response that Florida has taken doesn't exactly make me more exited to travel. This route is a trip I've taken... Continue Reading →
Ok, for better or worse, I have a customer visit that I need to make in Virginia. This is my first work trip since the COVID pandemic started. We've done some personal travel and vacations, but nothing related to work. I knew what to expect with flying, but I've not stayed in a generic hotel... Continue Reading →
This is our trip home from Memorial Day weekend in Indianapolis. I really had a great weekend away and nice return to travel. However this is bitter sweet as it's my last MD88 flight ever. On This Trip 1: GSP-ATL-IND Delta 717 Comfort+ and Delta MD88 First Class. Flying in the time of COVID 2... Continue Reading →
